Israeli warnings against a new attack on Iran: it will not topple the regime and may drag Israel into a long attrition

Israeli reports covered warnings by retired Major General Yitzhak Brick that a new attack on Iran would not topple the regime or settle the nuclear and missile files, and could drag Israel into a long war of attrition. They also quoted Maariv describing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statements about definitively defeating Iran as a dangerous delusion detached from strategic reality.

📍 Where things stand: The warnings remain within the scope of published Israeli assessments, with no announcement of a new decision or military move.

  1. 25 Oct 2026, 09:02 Retired Israeli Major General Yitzhak Brick warned that a new attack on Iran would neither topple the regime nor settle the nuclear and missile files, describing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statements about resolving the confrontation "once and for all" as a dangerous delusion. He argued that Iran would respond by striking energy facilities in the Gulf, disrupting navigation in Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab, and targeting facilities inside Israel, which could push Tel Aviv into a long war of attrition draining its air defenses, economy and standing.
  2. 25 Oct 2026, 09:23 Masadar News Network quoted the Hebrew Maariv newspaper saying that Netanyahu's statements that eliminating the regime in Iran is the only way to achieve a complete victory, and his directives to the Israeli army to definitively defeat Iran, are a dangerous delusion detached from strategic reality. The newspaper warned that a new Israeli attack on Iran would not topple the regime but would push Israel into a war of attrition and regional destruction, harming its security, economy and international standing.
  3. 25 Oct 2026, 09:53 A report by Al-Najah News added that Brick warned that resuming the war on Iran could widen the confrontation regionally, inflict military and economic losses on Israel and drag it into a long attrition, amid the absence of a clear strategy to end the war.
